This year's 50th Reunion brought over 180 alumni and their families back to campus to reconnect with their fellow classmates, share stories and check out what's happening on campus. Class members came from as far away as Austria and France to celebrate their golden anniversary.

This three day event (April 24-26) included a reception and mingling at the President's house, presentations from Chemistry Professor Jim Hutchison on nanoscience to a Bach Festival update from Executive Director John Evans, a tour of the Casanova Center, a King Estate Winery tour and tasting, the Spring football game and a fun reception and dinner at the Eugene Country Club.

Additionally, the class of 1958 raised $141,105 to give to the Alumni Center fundraising campaign, one of the largest 50th reunion class gifts to date.
